OTHER PREDICTIONS

Real Salt Lake will make it to the final of the 2010–11 CONCACAF Champions League, but lose

In the 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League; both FC Dallas and Seattle Sounders FC will advance to the Group Stage, making it the first time in CCL history four American teams are in the Group Stage.

FC Dallas, playing a similar style of soccer to Central American clubs, will be a challenging opponent for their competition. Should things go their way, not only will Dallas become the first MLS/American club to win in Mexico, but they will likely end group stage with possibly five wins and win their group.

Sounders FC will advance to the quarterfinals as the second place team in their Group.

Los Angeles Galaxy will perform poorly in Champions League, but they will end up advancing by some luck

Colorado Rapids will not exactly tank in the tournament, but they will probably end up in third place

In the U.S. Open Cup, U.S. Soccer and MLS will pray for a Portland vs. Seattle final; however, they will end with Portland making the finals, but Seattle losing to D.C. United in the semifinals. USSF will likely try to assemble the bracket in such a way that a Portland vs. Seattle final is likely, but when that happens, always backfires.

The 2011 Open Cup final match will be in Portland, but D.C. United will end up winning.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC will gain a postseason birth, but the Timbers will fail to do so.
